How Obama Used Hillary’s Dossier to Spy on Trump
Front Page ^ | October 26, 2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 10/27/2017 12:24:15 PM PDT by detective

How do you legally spy on your political opponents?

At some point in time that question was asked in the White House, at the DNC or in the hotel suites where Hillary and her staff were staying during her speaking tours.

It wasn’t exactly asked that way.

But it was asked. And now we know more of the answer. What Hillary and Obama did wasn’t Watergate. That was amateur hour. Its sophistication is a tribute to the left’s deep knowledge and control of the workings of Washington, D.C. The men and women who planned this and carried it out understood not only government, but had an intimate familiarity with the loopholes in the laws and the networks of contacts that could realize their highly illegal plans.

How long will such an investigation take in order to produce indictments? This is a massive scandal involving some of the most powerful people in our society. And they will be defended by the Dems and the MSM.

Take a look at how long it took to investigate Whitewater and Clinton/Lewinsky.

January 1994

Attorney General Janet Reno appoints Robert Fiske Jr. as the independent counsel in charge of investigating financial irregularities in the dealings of the Whitewater property company. The Clintons, and their business partners, James and Susan McDougal, are implicated.

August 1994

Fiske is replaced by the more conservative Kenneth Starr as the independent counsel investigating the Whitewater scandal.

May 1996

The first Whitewater trial ends with the conviction of the McDougals for fraud. A Senate hearing ends inconclusively a month later.

February 1997

Kenneth Starr, the Independent Counsel investigating the Whitewater scandal, announces he will step down from the investigation. He then changes his mind and continues his investigations.

January 16, 1998

Janet Reno, the US Attorney General, approves the Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr's request for an expansion of the inquiry to include the Clinton-Lewinsky affair.

September 9, 1998

Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr releases his report to Congress. It has 11 possible grounds for impeachment. The House votes to make the 445-page report public.

September 11, 1998

Congress makes the report public.

“...and therefore implicated themselves in your crimes, you have no fear of consequences.”

Yes. Make everyone that might be a threat, guilty. Get-out-of-jail card -— right out of the RAT playbook.

>>What I want to know is how much money did obama and valjar get for the Uranium One deal.<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It was probably “peanuts” compared with what they (and Kerry etc.) got for the Iran deal.

Then there was splitting up the pot of Qaddafi’s billions.

What did Obama get for arming the Sinaloa cartel (Fast & Furious)?

Then there was the TPP sellout of America that Trump stopped.

U-1 might have just whet their appetite.

So was the dossier used in Trump’s FISA authorization.

Obama was one of the most corrupt Presidents we have had.

The IRS tea party stuff, the Iran cash/gold shipped in a cargo plane buy-off, the spying on Trump and his staff, the Fast and Furious gun running to try to bring down the 2nd Amendment, the lies about Benghazi, the behind the scenes payoffs by Solar PV manufacturers, the horror of Corporate shakedowns to fund community organizing groups, the list just keeps going one.

That’s the big question. This column is a good start. I’ve been patiently waiting for someone to use the term “pretext” to explain the dossier’s role.

In the waiting room several weeks ago there was a blurb about Obama’s cousin, Raila Odinga, claiming that Kenya’s election results were hacked. Amazing how the banana republics of the world have the same templates and tactics.

I’m hoping that when people see how Obama does his conspiracies using elaborate combinations of federal agencies, individuals, media, etc... they will be willing to look again at the supposed death of Loretta Fuddy.

And all the other hoaxes they’ve pulled.

I especially hope the Extortion 17 families get the answers they deserve.

You can bet they covered for each other. That was how the game was to be played this time around too.

I suspect the Bushes suck up to the Clintons and the Obamas for similar reasons, frankly.

I agree.

I believe that the 2006 Kenyan presidential election, where the Jr senator from IL illegally campaigned for his cousin Odinga, was prep for upcoming US elections.

The way they get away with their crimes is they divided the civilian’s. Divide and conquer. They been doing it for years. Starting with education and special groups. But we all know that. They can do what they want. How is going to call them on it?

Great article. I watched Hannity on Fox bust this story and he totally left out the little detail that the dossier was used as evidence to gain court permission to spy on Trump’s campaign!

Just breaking on Fox that the Washington Free Beacon is the conservative bunch that hired Fusion first to find dirt on DT business dealings.
